Psalm 37:4 "Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart."
There have been times in the past, and even still to this day, when I’ve felt frustrated, thinking I’m serving God faithfully yet wondering why certain things aren’t going the way I would prefer. At those times, I am tempted to argue with the psalmist that I am not receiving the desires of my heart. What I must remind myself, however, is that the possibility exists that I am wrong about the true desires of my heart.
We all think it is easy to know what we want. But the world around us manipulates and deceives us into believing we desire – even need – things that in reality we don’t. These desires may be material in nature or just experience or relationship oriented. We are bombarded by marketing ploys every day telling us what the good life should consist of. Some of these ploys we are aware of and some we are not.
The reality is that the Creator who designed me knows the True desires of my heart even in a way I myself don’t always know.
